CAIR Smears and Tries to Silence an IPT Fellow

Using misleading claims and engaging in rank hypocrisy, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is waging a campaign to silence an Investigative Project on Terrorism senior fellow.

CAIR issued a news release Wednesday announcing its efforts to pressure the United States Air Force Special Operations School (USAFSOS) into dropping Patrick Dunleavy as an instructor in "The Dynamics of International Terrorism" course. Dunleavy, who served as deputy inspector general for New York State's Department of Corrections, focuses on prison radicalization.

It's a topic he learned about first hand, including work on "Operation Hades," an investigation into radical Islamist recruitment both in and out of prison.
